In another post Chaudry shared a quote celebrating ‘martyred Palestinians’.
However, Chaudry has not been removed from her position on the Maryland Commission on Hate Crime Response and Prevention.
The commission’s stated goal is to address hate crime incidents across Maryland, and to ‘communicate and promote understanding of diverse perspectives in a positive and meaningful way’.
The office of Democrat Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, who appointed Chaudry in August, defended his decision not to remove her.
‘The views and opinions of any individual Commission member do not reflect those of either the Maryland Commission on Hate Crime Response and Prevention or the Attorney General.
‘We understand that there are many viewpoints regarding current events in the Middle East.
‘The Commission will do its best to explore the impact of those events on our community, and to determine how best to address escalations in hate and bias incidents across the state.’
